Recital is held the next-to-last weekend of June at the Lee's Summit North Performing Arts Center. Costumes are ordered in February after each student has paid a 50% per costume deposit. Balance of costumes is due in April. HADC schedules a "picture day" the first of June where all students are photographed in costume, hair, and make-up. A Mock Dress Rehearsal is scheduled at HADC during the first of June followed by the actual Dress Rehearsal at LSN. Three performances are scheduled (Friday night, Saturday afternoon matinee, and Saturday night). Please note the specific recital dates, times, and information can be found on the Calendar of Events page. A yearly recital fee of $50.00 is required to be paid by February 1.

Registration forms must be accompanied by an annual non-refundable enrollment fee of $30.00 ($10.00 per additional child/sibling) and the first month's tuition in order to hold the student's spot in class.

Dance till the stars come down from the rafters.
Dance, dance, dance - till you drop.

Watch Night is offered, typically, every two months. It is an excellent opportunity for parents to watch their child's progression in class. Parents and visitors are not allowed in the classroom; however there is a viewing window at each studio classroom. We discourage spending the entire class period at the viewing window. Visitors can watch only at the discretion of the instructor.
